The Sea.

The temperature OF the sea is the
same, varying only a trifle from the ice
of the pole to the burning sun OF the
ouator A mile down the water has a
pressure of over a ton to the square
inch, If n box six feet deep were Tiled
with sea water, and allowed to evapor-
ate under the sun, there would b3 two
inches of salt left ON the bottom. TAX
ing the average depth of the ocean to
be three miles, there would be a layer
of pure salt $50 feet thick on the bed OF
the Atlantic. The water is colder at
the bottom than at the surface. In the
many bays on the coast of Norway the
water often freezes at the bottom be-
fore it does above. Waves are very de-
ceptive. To look at them in a storm
one would think the water travelled.
The water stays in the same place, but
the motion goes on. Sometimes In
storms these waves are forty feet high,
and travel fifty miles an hour, more
than twice as fast rs the swiftest steam
er. The distance from valley to valley
is generally fifteen times the height,
hence a wave five feet hight will eX-
tend over seyenty-iive feet of water.
E~yaporation is a wonderful power IN
drawing the water from the sea. Every
wear a layer of the entire sea, fourteen
feet thick, is taken up into the clouds.
The wind bears their burden into the
land, and the water comes down IN
rain upon the fields to flow back at last
through rivers. The depth of the sea
presents an interesting problem. If
the Atlantic were lowered 6,564 feet,
the distance from shore to shore would
be half as great, or 1900 miles. If
lowered a little more than three miles,
say 10, $50 feet, there would be a road
of dry land from Newfoundland to Ire
land. This is the place on wlAch b
Great Atlantic cables were laid. The
Mediterranean is comparatively shall
low. A drying up of ego feet would
leave three distinct seas, and Africa
would be Joined with Italy. The Brit
ish Channel is more like a pond, which
accounts for its choppy waves.

YIELD OF GRAPES FROM AN ACRE.
An acre of vines, in.rows SIX feet n
way and eight the other, will give IN
round numbers 900 vines per acre. In
three years they will average enough
over two pounds per win to yield q
ton Of fruit per acre, and when in full
bearing may be kept at a distance
apart, to an average crop Of ten pounds
per vine. This 10 900 pounds. or four
and a half tons. Even at 2 cents a
pound, for which grapes may be pro-
fitably bought for making into wine,
this would give $3.50 per acre; or far
more, after deducting expenses OF
management and cultivation, than can
be made from ordinary farm crops.

Iron is now rendered highly n
mental by cooling it with ALUMINIUM,
in the same way as iron plates are now
timed and converted into tin plates.
This process is due to the ingenuity of
DR.. Gehring of Germany, who uses for
the purpose a Bunsen burner with a
blast or a mufiie, and Is thus able to
manufacture various articles of the
durable metal for daily use, the coating
of aluminium giving them a silver-white
lustre. He also produces a gold lustre.
or any other color, and even an enamel
coating, all Of which substances are
said to adhere very firmly to aluminium.
The latter, as is well known, does not
oxidize under normal conditions, and
even stands the heat Of Al ordinary lire,
while it Is much more lustrous than
tin.

DON'T shut up the turkeys that you
intend for market, for when confined
to close quarters turkeys are more
liable to lose flesh than to gain. Shut
up the rest of the flock and let those
that you desire to fatten have free
range. Feed well, all they will eat Of
warm cooked vegetables and meal IN
the morning, and plenty of corn at
noon and nights. If they seem In
clined to wander around too much,
throw out a little corn between meals.
Two or three weeks of such feeding

they are sold, not IN the grain itself.
or this a writer in the National Stock
man says that the oats make a good
chicken feed, but for horses and cattle,
feed either ground or whole, they are
too rich, as the hull of an oat aids
digestion. The Bohemian cats are
hulless, or should be, to be like the

cat them. Those that do are liable to
collie from eating rapidly. They a
